As long a the sides and bottom of the pool are smooth, it would be a good choice. I have had my pool since 1994 and have had several pool cleaners. This one is by far the best one I've owed.

Hello Kezz. Thanks for you interest in our product. The Hayward Wanda The Whale® pool cleaners are designed to clean the bottom of all sizes and shapes of above ground and on-ground pools. This cleaner should not be used with Intex/inflatable/pop-up style pools.

We used it to pump out our gunite pool that had lots of leaves and twigs and gross junk in dark brown water. (We had a pump that broke and took a few months to get it replaced so the pool got yucky during the winter.) We put the pump down in the leaves in the deep end and it worked well. It only clogged once in a while. We had a lot of small debris and leaves and I was surprised it did so well. Of course we had some small amounts of dirt that slid in during storms but not like a pond of course. At first, we did set it in the water on a piece of concrete block so it would have a smooth surface to work on and thus be less likely to clog.

That's how I have mine set up and it works great. I am a big fan for this vacuum. My pool has never been cleaner.

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products. This unit is safe to use in all pool waters including salt. Note: It's a best practice to always remove the unit after each use and rinse it when possible with fresh water. This will help prolong the life of the cleaner

I have bought a rebuild kit for this cleaner. It works well now. My pool service man suggests buying the 280 or 380 over this cleaner. The 3900 Sport is not worth the cost and fickleness of the cleaner.

intex auto pool cleaner is a good pool cleaner. just make sure the filter pump has a flow rate of 1200 - 3500gph. i would suggest to read the comments on others pool cleaners before you make your decision. but for a pool cleaner for your size pool, i would get intex auto pool cleaner. of course you still need to clean the sides by manual labor. you can get a pool cleaner that will do both , you will spend more money for it. but for a small pool i would stick with a pool cleaner that is less expensive like the intex auto pool cleaner.

it depends on what you want to accomplish. this product is used to remove metal stains from gunite pool surfaces. I use it yearly and it works very well. there are a number of other products on the market that do likewise. I am a 25 year pool owner and I get the best results using all products from the same manufacturer. these bioguard products are a little bit pricey but I believe they are worth the few extra $s. good luck, spyboy1.......if you need anymore assistance, drop me a note at spyboy809@gmail.com

This machine is not a miracle worker, but when I ran it enough times getting the pool in shape, the bottom was nicely cleaned. I felt it helped out with filtering the water, too. If the cost per run is anything like advertised, I am satisfied.

Its good for any size above ground pool. Only if its big you need to leave it more time doing the job.It is very helpfull since you have to do less work.

My pool is bigger and this cleaner is amazing, the best $500 I have spent. Gets alittle scary when it crawls up the walls lol

Not at all. As a matter of fact this system will clean a above ground pool 15 x 48 very well. I have a 15 x 48 and love this system. This system will clean this size pool, but any pool bigger than this needs a larger filter sysyem. Hope this helps. Sheri G.

Duke, I purchased this model; Kreepy Krauly 360048 Automatic In Ground Pool CleanerI works excellent in my vinyl pool.

I have never tried it but it should be no problem. But if you have a cover on the pool, it really shouldn't need cleaning.

I believe this particular model is reccomended for concrete and gunite pools so I would stay away from this one, as you want something that has rubber brushes. Also, not happy with this aqua bot and would not recommend. Already had it sent to be repaired after only two months and having problems with it again this year. Didn't even have it for a year. Hope this helps.

Mine moves at a very fast pace and it is the best cleaner I have owned. It climbs up the walls and stairs and cleans very well. Maybe you have a leak in a hose piece or your pool motor is to small.
